BOWSFIELD Neglect of fruit growing is flagrant in the middle west, but the modern idea of securing larger returns per acre from the land will in a few years result in a revival of horticulture, No matter how large or how small a farm is nor where it is situated, if timber will grow there, wise land- owners will give a reasonable amount of attention to fruit. They will man- age their orchards intelligently and make them pay at the rate of $200 to $400 an acre. As land grows in value farms naturally decrease in size and owners come to realize the need of making every acre count to the ut- most of its earning capacity without destroying soil fertility. Experts fully agree that orchard land may be made to return a good income ‘while the young trees are coming to maturity. There are many crops that can be handled in an orchard without hurting either soil or trees, and per- sons cultivating small tracts will feel like using them to make the ground profitable every year instead of wait- ing five or six years for the fruit trees to mature. I am more and more convinced of the wisdom of planting fruit trees far- ther apart than is customary. Forty feet apart each way is none too much for apples, pears and cherries, but while the root system of these trees is developing there is a good opportunity ¥ | Bushes and crops of all kinds should | HOW TO ANSWER BLIND ADS. YOUNG FRUIT TREES COMING TO MATURITY. to raise a variety of crops in the or- chard. Even after the trees are in bearing there will be little harm in cul- tivating vegetables and flowers be- tween the rows, provided care is shown in working the land. Raspberries and currants will work nicely in this scheme for a few years and perhaps perma- nenily. Beans and peas are excellent crops to raise in an orchard, as they pay well, are good nitrogen gatherers and do not interfere with the roots of the trees in ordinary cultivation. be kept a few feet away from the trees. To be more than a mere ‘‘scrap of paper,” a gnarantee must be and backed by a concern able and willing to make it good. The General’s guarantee is not only absolute; it is backed by a business operating the world’s largest roofing mills, and making one-third of all the roll roofing made in America.

There is no evasion about it—no attempt to substitute a high- sounding something ‘just as good.”” There is no substitute for a real guarantee. et an absolute guarantee on CERTAIN- EED because the General knows that no better roofing can be made. Its raw materials and method of manufacture are both certi- fied by the General’s board of graduate chem- ists, and he knows he’s taking no chance in aranteeing them to you.

Apple trees will thrive and do well on almost any soil which has had good preparation, but different kinds of soil require different treatment. Loamy land is naturally. rich in plant food. Hence it will require little if any ma- nuring in its preparation. But it should be deeply stirred and thoroughly brok- en up by subsoiling. This loamy earth is what may be termed free soil, as it seldom becomes compacted. A clay soil is the most difficult to prepare and often requires manuring as well as thorough plowing and sub- soiling. It should also be frequently stirred during the summer and espe- cially as soon after each rainfall as possible to prevent it from baking and becoming compacted. This becomes even more important in seasons of long droughts. Persons putting in large or- chards wil] do well to study the sub- ject of dynamiting the ground, espe- cially if the soil is heavy. Sandy land is generally lacking in plant food. An elevated bit of land is best for fruit, but while a gentle slope is rec- ommended a steep hillside is not de- sirable. Good results usually follow from spring planting, and the young trees may be either one year or two years old. Apples are a profitable crop in all states which produce timber, and there are hardy varieties which grow well in the extreme north. For New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illi- nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Canada and northern localities generally the fol- lowing varieties of apple are suggest- ed: Yellow Transparent, Early Harvest, Red Astrakhan, Duchess of Oldenburg, Golden Sweet, Trenton Early, Early Strawberry, Primate, Maiden Blush, Jersey Sweet, Rambo, Porter, Fall Pippin, Bailey Sweet, Fameuse, Shia- wassee Beauty, Wealthy, Grimes Golden, Jonathan, Red Canada, De- licious, Tompkins King, Northern Spy, Sutton, Wagener, Esopus, Spitzen- burg, Rome Beauty, Roxbury Russet, Baldwin, Ben Davis, Rhode Island Greening, Stark, Winesap, York Im- perial, Lansingburg and Yellow New- ton. Trimming the Trees. Trim a little every year rather than much in any one year. Peach trees require more pruning than most trees. At least a half of the new growth should be removed each season.
